    Datasheet/specs for cells?

    I'm pulling individual cells out of my dead FFE's pack for DIY projects. This is what's printed on the side of the cells: LGX P1 MA214X4 MA21440640 I've been trying to find more info on them (specifically: Capacity and C Rating). They look almost identical to this 15Ah model...

    Battery Removal With Minimal Equipment

    I'm hoping to extract the upper and lower HV battery packs from my FFE, but I don't have a hydraulic jib crane laying around. Transmission jacks seem more reasonably priced, so I might just pick one of those up for the lower pack. I'm referencing this very helpful guide for steps and safety...

    Welp, it's dead...

    Our FFE was unable to start earlier this week, so we towed it to the dealer. I just now heard back from them. It needs $3.5k in repairs (water leak in battery harness), and that repair might lead to the discovery of any number of systems which have also shorted out as a result of the leak. It...

    Tire Rotation

    My FFE's road noise from the rear tires has been picking up when at highway speeds. I'm 99% sure it's just overdue a tire rotation, but also I know EV batteries are heavy beasts. Just double checking here... can I rotate with the pattern just like any ICE car? Thanks!

    Time sensitive: "Shutting down system to save power"

    Well, my wife is stranded in a parking lot with our FFE... She can't remember the exact message, but she went to turn it on and it said something like "System shutting down to save battery", or the topic. No it's giving no response... Any ideas? Is this just the 12V battery that needs replacing?

    Jump in max range, Regen Pause

    Hello all, Our family FFE tends to "budget" a different number of miles each time we turn it on fully charged. I perceived this to be totally normal, and assumed it was calculated based on current temperature, and the driving habits from the previous ride. It's usually around 65 miles, with a...

    Clunk in Transfer Case (Video)

    I isolated the problem from my previous post and uncovered a lot more information to share. I'm dreading the ramifications of my findings. The guys at Firestone INSISTED that there was nothing wrong with the car, and Ford won't take a look for two weeks, so I bought some ramps and looked myself...

    Rough engage/disengage feel of engine

    Got a 2014 FFE with 96,000 miles and I noticed something weird in the handling. Just want to know if its normal, or cause for concern: Please bear with me while I try to describe: I can feel the drive engaging and disengaging as it goes between slowing and accelerating, and it's not...

    The Engineering Dream

    After about twelve years of working in "the arts," I'm putting myself back through school for an Electrical Engineering degree. I absolutely love this stuff and have to admit that this forum is a total dreamscape. I'm only about 6 weeks into my return to academia (wow retaining information is...

    Proud New Owners

    We just swapped one of the family cars for an FFE. It's our first EV and we're super excited about it! It's only a 2014 and has a whopping 95,000 miles on it, but the battery was replaced under warranty in 2020. Once we found that little detail out, we pounced on the deal. I think we really...
